I think we can manage the fear of speaking in public. As long as we are clear about the reasons behind this fear, we can "manage" it. Some of us dare not speak in public because of lack of self-confidence or experience. In that case, we should first believe that we have something worth sharing and then seek and make use of public speaking opportunities, for example, speaking up in class or in small groups, to practice our skills. For others of us, the source of fear comes from external factors, such as the concern that the audience will not be interested in our topic. A simple way to get rid of the anxiety is to get to know as much as possible about our audience and then tailor our talk to engage the audience.

Frankly speaking, I haven't had any positive experiences with public speaking up to now. In high school, I couldn't give a good public speech no matter how hard I had tried. But I still believe that with practice, I can learn to manage my nervousness and convey my message confidently and clearly in front of a crowd.

I think I should take a couple of measures to cope with the difficulty of speaking in public. On the one hand, I should let go of the negative memories of the past experiences, learn from them and find the reasons for my fear. On the other hand, I should learn some public speaking skills, adopt what works for me and do much practice until I can give an effective presentation. With time and practice, I will feel more comfortable in front of my audience and become more confident in myself.

Yes, I think they are really effective tips to help us enjoy smooth conversations. Actually, one point of these tips is concentration. We may all have experienced conversations where the other person is in fact absent-minded. While we are trying to push the conversation forward, they may just play with their cellphones and make no eye contact with us. In this case, the conversation can hardly move forward.

No, I don't think the tips are effective enough. I think the most important factor for a better conversation is the attitude of the people involved in a conversation. For example, if the person we are talking to sounds honest and gentle, the chances for an enjoyable conversation are really high. However, if the person looks bossy or rude, we will soon lose the motivation to talk on and will probably end the conversation as soon as possible
